SS’s woes are a prime example of the consequences of the “nobody should ever have to pay a penny in taxes” religion that has taken deep root. The ultra-wealthy are the most zealous, but by no means the only ones. TANSTAAFL folks.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.

It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

Here in a nutshell is all the failures of the "serious" media (here The Economist) regarding Trump. They have commissioned a serious grown-up commentator to write this. And look at the result. Look in particular at that "strangely lacking interest"... /1

No, effeminate boys aren’t being ‘transed’ | Xtra Magazine Hiding my transness nearly killed me. Let’s work to build a world where trans people’s lives aren’t quite so hard

A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...

Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S.
now

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

Sucks that GOP voters respond to anti-trans tropes like Pavlov's dogs.

Quite true, and certainly the case long a very long time. There is a world of difference in the prosecution of white-collar crime vs blue-collar crime. If the former had been vigorously enforced, Trump would have been buried under the jail decades ago.

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

My humble suggestion about age verification is that we've gone through two decades of widespread access to a mostly unregulated internet where children had free access to most sources, including adult sources, and everything we know about younger political demographics

The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.

Well, if you start from the premise that everything Trump says is a lie, you can reach this position quickly enough.
